When opened from the lockscreen (in my case by a button shortcut), the camera works on the first time, but every time afterwards, it just freezes and shows the interface with a black screen. After manually killing the app, it works again once and then the freezing starts again.

Opening the camera from the launcher works every time, no problem there.

Notes

• Add support for Camera Timer - Modes (OFF, 3s, 5s and 10s)
• If the sound is enabled, play Focus Complete Sound on each tick of the timer. Do we want to change this?

Hi

Does simple-camera comes with preview of last capture ?

I only see one picture at the bottom of the settings icon but it's not the preview of the last capture, it's an image of simple-gallery from another folder.

Thank

Using ~~Gallery~~ Camera app version ~~2.3.9~~ on two Sony Stock ROM's (Android 6.0.1 and 7.0.1) when switching from "photo-mode" to "video-mode" the app crashes.

Hi,

Android 8.1...I get a black screen, without any error messages, for the back camera only. Front one works fine and video mode works fine for both cameras. any idea how to fix it?

All pictures are rotated 90° right relative to the orientation of the phone. Phone: Alcatel Idol 2 Mini S (6036Y) Version: Android 6.0.1 Kernel: 3.10.49

While adding a feature to the Simple Camera app, I noticed that when the option in the settings for Shutter sound is turned on, video recording does not work. Apparently, I see there is an error when loading the sound files.

Dear developers,

first: Thank you very much for all of your SimpleMobileTools! It is amazing what you have developed and even more amazing that you chose to make it open source and share it with the world.

I have a suggestion on how to make SimpleCamera better. With hardware accelerated AV1 decoding support already implemented in many cpus/gpus, and hardware encoding support hitting the consumer market this christmas, web browsers adapting the format and so on - it seems logical that this file format will become widespread and probably even the next industry standard. Qualcomm will add hardware support for it in their 2023 mobile phone chips, too.

Many open source projects such as Krita, GIMP, ... are already implementing support for it.

Would it be possible to add support for this codec to SimpleCamera, so that the user can take videos in AV1 codec (if hardware encoding supported by the phone) and pictures in AVIF codec? These codecs save a lot of space, which seems to be a good idea especially on mobile phones.

Edit: Oh, and JPEG XL support might also be a good idea!

Thank you very much! :)

As per the discussion at https://github.com/SimpleMobileTools/Simple-Camera/issues/281, Simple Camera now works fine from the lockscreen, but only if the default camera is disabled.

This isn't noted in README.md, and also not displayed on first launch of the app - this is important because many users will probably get the app from F-Droid, and those users probably won't see the readme anyway.

I'll submit a MR now to update README.md.

The viewfinder was supposed to show a keyboard, however that what it looks like:

When I move the camera I find that the image is updated on a very slowly rate, often with those duplicate compositions. Other apps like OpenCamera work fine.

For the front camera everything works as expected.
